In an era of rapid development in the crypto economy, we need to seriously consider a core question: to what extent will wealth generation become concentrated?
When productivity accelerates beyond expectations, what are the secondary social effects that follow? Traditional economic frameworks may not fully explain this. Will the large-scale application of smart contracts, DeFi protocols, and automated trading systems exacerbate the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few preferred recipients?
This is not alarmism. The key is—if we do not proactively address these foreseeable issues now, it may be too late when they actually occur. Forward-looking institutional design and ecological balance are far more effective than remedial measures afterward. What are your thoughts?

It's true, but it's high time to face reality... This has been the case from the beginning; the first-mover advantage is simply unavoidable.

Had I known earlier, those entering now are just destined to be cut. Big players have already been making waves in DeFi.

To be honest, I've been worried about this for a while. Now, those playing DeFi are mostly well-capitalized, and small retail investors have no chance to catch the earliest dividends.
